March has been a great month for music with a lot of well anticipated releases. One of them was the new album by Miike Snow, “Paddling out”, which tops this month playlist with the addicting song of same tittle.

Keeping on the indie side, you might wanna get to know these unknown voices: Let’s Say We Did, a Swedish indie rock band, who will get your ears stuck on their “Galaxies” track. You’ve been warned! Tobias Isaksson is the voice behind Azure Blue, another Swedish ear candy, now with a pop touch to his indie beats.

Keep calm, we got a British sound! And that would be represented on this playlist by the adorable supposedly Irish corkiness of Vertigo Smyth‘s music. Yes, “Comfort me” had to be included. Don’t you agree?

Lucy Rose, a singer songwriter from Warwickshire, won her deserved spot among these 24 tracks with her beautiful single “Red Face”. What’s not to love about this song… just beautiful.

Fanfarlo and Andrew Bird have also released new albums. You can listen on this playlist to which of their new tracks we’ve completely surrendered to. Good stuff!

So, among new releases and new voices, March has not only brought a fresh breath of Spring but also, great new music. We wave March goodbye with this playlist and look forward to see your favorite March beats: share with us today on #thursplay?

Our friends at This Day in Music are bringing us some of the most relevant events that happened this week, along with a playlist for each day. Read along and enjoy these musical flashbacks.

29th March, 1973, Dr. Hook And The Medicine Show got their picture on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine after their hit, ‘The Cover of Rolling Stone’ reached No. 6 on the US singles chart. According to members of the group, they really did buy five copies for their mothers, just like the song said.

30th March, 2000, Rolling Stone Mick Jagger made a nostalgic visit to his old school. He opened the new arts centre that had been named after him at Dartford Grammar. The singer said he had spent the worst years of his life at the school.

31st March, 2001, Whitney Houston and husband Bobby Brown were banned for life from Hollywood’s Bel Air hotel after wrecking their room. Hotel workers said a TV was smashed, two doors were ripped of their hinges and the walls and carpets were stained by alcohol. It was reported that Whitney called in her lawyers to plead with the hotel management not to call the police. The suite was so badly damaged it had to be shut for five days for repairs.

1st April 1970, John Lennon & Yoko Ono released a statement that they were going to be undergoing side by side sex change operations so that Lennon would become a woman and Ono a man. This of course turned out to be an April Fools Joke.

2nd April, 2006, Gnarls Barkley started an eight-week run at No.1 on the UK singles chart with ‘Crazy.’ The American duo made chart history by becoming the first act ever to reach No.1 through computer downloads only. The single was not available to buy in shops until the following week.

3rd April, 2007, Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards denied that he snorted the ashes of his late father during a drugs binge. Jane Rose, Richards’ manager, told MTV News the remarks were made ‘in jest’, and she could not believe they had been taken seriously. Richards had said in an interview with the NME: ‘He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow.’ But NMEinterviewer Mark Beaumont was convinced that Richards was not joking when speaking to him about the alleged incident. ‘He did seem to be quite honest about it. There were too many details for him to be making it up,’ he later told BBC news.

4th April, 2008, Procol Harum singer Gary Brooker won back full royalty rights to the band’s worldwide hit, ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale’, at London’s Court of Appeal. The decision overturned a 2006 ruling that organist Matthew Fisher was entitled to a 40% portion of royalties on the 1967 hit after he argued he had written the song’s organ melody. The court ruled there was an “excessive delay” in the claim being made – nearly 40 years after the song was recorded.
